The forums seek input on the following topics:

Forums are being held at community-based locations such as schools and community centers on weekday evenings and late afternoons, and Saturday mornings to encourage community engagement and access.

The events are open to all who have an interest in providing suggestions about behavioral health services needed in the region.
